Billionaire in Hiding, Trilogy

Publisher Marketing: Book One: Dusk in the Vines Madeleine Norwood, lifetime resident of Rosiln Woods, had a day that goes from bad, to worse, to outright far-fetched. Nothing notable happens within her sleepy town hidden in the forest-until two mysterious brothers arrive in town. Julian, an upbeat and forward 20-something, and his elder brother James, a mysterious, brooding man are inexplicitly tied to Madeleine-in ways she herself could never have imaged. Her sleepy life is transformed overnight as a looming sense of danger settles in the air. As she grows closer to the auburn-haired, charismatic Julian, James' persona darkens. The more Madeleine is tangled within their web, one stark truth comes to light: the charming two of them are hiding a secret-one that will change Madeleine's life overnight. In the midst of this shadowy situation, Madeleine finds herself torn between her ingrained daily life, and her deeply permeating curiosity-and her blooming affection for these foreign strangers. But, she finds that the closer she gets to Julian, the more questions flood in and add upon each other. For Madeleine, at least one thing is certain: things will never be the same again. Book Two: Dawn in the Canopies It has been a mere month since Madeleine learned the dark secret of Julian and James-or, as she truly knows them now, Florian and Ambrose. Walking in from a memory of her past, Ambrose begs Madeleine one thing-not to say a word about who they truly are. As autumn settles into the small town of Rosiln Woods, there is a deep, pestering cold in the air; a cold that Madeleine cannot fully shake. As Florian attends classes, Madeleine finds herself growing ever closer to Ambrose, the quiet, formidable man with pine-green eyes and a penchant for subtle sarcasm. Always dressed suavely and carefully precise with his words, there is a certain authority within his stance that demands Madeleine's attention. His presence stirs something in her; something Madeleine herself cannot yet fully understand-curiosity, longing, lust? His quick wit and domineering presence are enough to draw her into his mysterious air and make her heart beat like hummingbird wings. As the two grow closer, the looming possibility of danger quietly settles in as well. Who is to be trusted? Who can be trusted? In some ways, Madeleine thinks this must be a fairy tale; but even she is unsure if there will be a happy ending. Book Three: Midnight on the Shore In a mad rush, Madeleine, Florian and Ambrose must flee Rosiln Woods at the break of dawn. The brothers, on the run from the law, must act quickly to clear their names and save themselves from the crime they have been framed for. Madeleine, tied to them by fate, it swept into the exhilarating danger of their life on the run; protected by them for her own safety. They arrive in Spain, staying with a family friend until Ambrose can figure out a solution to this whole jeopardizing tangle of circumstances. Set against the backdrop of a seaside town, Madeleine falls in love with the scenery, the feeling of a new place. But, that is not the only reason her heart is swelling within her. Even amid the hectic situation, Madeleine and Ambrose feel themselves growing ever closer to one another; a bond that Madeleine can barely fathom and is terrified to hold onto. In the heart-pounding conclusion of Midnight on the Shore, Madeleine fears that her closeness to Ambrose will be her undoing; her fear of losing him may prove to be too strong for her heart to overcome.
